There will be no female avatars in 2 according to Games.

Ruffian's Billy Thomson has been explaining a few design decisions that they've made on the game and one of them has been to omit female avatar models.

Thompson told 1UP: "In Crackdown, the amount of memory that it was going to take for it to do all the actual animation, the texture sets and the models for the females - we would've needed to massively reduce other sections of the game."

He added: "So rather than do two separate models, we cut it back and gave the player as much customisation as we could on the male character and that allowed us to use that extra memory to do other things in the game."

So what he's saying is that the game is better without women? Sorry girls but you'll just have to be happy playing as a man.
